Miss Sturm, as captain, was in charge of the Junior and Senior girlsg Miss Trevett, as lieutenant, was in charge of the Freshman and Sophomore girls. It is hoped that the Girl Scout troops are so well established that they will remain a permanent organization in Tama High School. Boy Scouts Tlll'l available records of the local Scout council do not tell us when the first Boy Scout troop was organized in Tama. Reliable sources, however, do tell us that the first Boy Scout troop in Tama was organized in about 1911 un' der the leadership of Mr. J. G, Ennis. The first records show that Tama had two troops in 1924- with a total membership of fifty-seven boys. Later, a third troop was organized which increased the total enrollment in all three troops to approximately eighty-five Boy Scouts. Scouting has been continuous since 19144. lt has been under the direction and supervision of Mr. Ben Jones since 1926. During these years, seven lmndrcd and fifty Tama boys have enjoyed from one to four years of fun and fellowship as Scouts under his leadership. For his uninterrupted service to Tama boys through Scouting, for his fine Scout-like example, and for his sincerity of purpose, the Central Iowa Area Council, at its annual meeting in January, 1938, presented Mr. Jones with The Award of the Silver Beaver, the highest award or recognition the two hundred and seventy-five men of this council can confer upon any of their number. The results of the fun, the fellowship, the example, the high idealism of Scouting as presented by Tama's Scout- ers is evidenced today in the lives of hundreds of boys who are now successful and highly respected men of business and affairs in the fields into which they have gone. It is great to be a Scout.

REID, President C. E. IJAVIS, Secretary F. A. JONES, Treasurer We Appreciate-H THl'l work of the members of the Board of Education and Superintendent Nelson! Vl'hile it is true that they could not l1ave secured our present High School building without the cooperation of the townspeople, yct their foresight, effort and diligent attention to detail, gained for us the lrind of a building that we now enjoy. 'l'o say that the planning and supervision of a building such as ours is a major task may seem to be trite, but it is true, nevertheless. Hours of thought, consultation, and planning preceded the turning of a single shovel of dirt, or thc pouring of concrete. VVe, who are using the building, realize that they did their work well. Quality has been built into the structure, and yet the financial interests of the taxpayer have been carefully guarded. An enduring build- ing, beautiful and useful, has ceased to be a dream, and has become a reality. Everyone who comes to in- spect the new building is amazed at its size and its completeness. It is something of which the townspeople of Tama may be justly proud. It is a source of pride to us, who have spent both pleasant and profitable times within its walls these past few months. ive Seniors feel that praise frequently is not given when praise is due. Hence, we have reserved this page to give credit to these men who so richly deserve the praise of every student of Tama High School and every citizen of tl1e Tama community-the members of the Board of Education, and our Superintendent, Mr. E. H. Nelson-for a piece of work, well and faithfully donevan enduring service for education and the betterment of the entire community.
